Several years ago Memphians voted for term limits and instant runoff elections. The politicians aren't really excited by the prospect of either so they have added confusing double talk referendum to try to get them changed. Despicable if you ask me. For some reason or another Jennifer Lawrence has been recruited to help defeat the referendums.

Vote no!

That's cheap and dirty politics to try and muddy the waters in an attempt to change the will of the people.

Yes it is. Kinda like Great Britain wanting to have another Brexit vote because they didn't like the out come of the first vote.

New poll has the Senate race basically tied. There is some speculation that Taylor Swift's endorsement has helped tighten the race.

If that poll was the Vanderbilt poll, then it actually shows Blackburn up +20. They underpolled republicans to 39%, didnt like the results, and then weighted republicans down to 30%.

I take it from your non-response that you actually swallowed what they fed you on that poll, and didnt check out the methodology that was used?

No my non-response was I have a life and a job, and can't stay glued to this web site 24 hours a day.

Yes I believe it was the Vanderbilt poll. I have no idea what methodology it used.
